I don't now. I haven't done it.

I have participated in putting an R34 Neo loom into R32 before. There are a lot of things that are different. Complete devices that are different, plugs that are different, circuits that are run differently. You basically have to lay the two looms out and the two wiring diagrams out next to each other and make the changes required.

I do not know of a recipe book for what you want.

Well, it's not true. The are differences between S1 and S2 R33 RB25DET looms, let alone between R33 and R32.

The differences that you need to take into account are where the engine loom butts up against the body loom. Things like the alternator wiring, main power supplies from the fuse box, etc. Even the details around exactly how the ECCS relay and fuel pump wiring at the ECU location are a little different.

Well....seeing as the R33 RB25 ECU is a piece of shit with more aggressive R&R behaviours than the R32's ECU, and you can Nistune an R32 ECU and can't Nistune an R33 ECU....I can't see why anyone would even want to run a 20 with a 25 ECU.

And then, once you get past that, the stock maps in the 25 ECU won't be well matched to what the RB20 wants, so it will not run nicely. You would be 1000% better off running it on a homebuilt programmable ECU.

I'm not entirely certain what your end goal is but if it's just to pop in an RB25 into an R32 using stock components, R32 and R33 loom both use the same ecu connector. Use the R32 loom and R33 ECU. You will have some minor changes to make to the ecu pinout though.

Got it but i have microtech lt16c was on 33-25 with harness patch  and plug 

 

thats the reason i was asking. That ecu will work or i have to do some pinout modifications on the patch to work on rb20-?

That ecu will work. Just swap around the IO you need in the ecu. Look up Rb25/R32 conversion DIY's and they document which pins or I/O need swapped in the ecu.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
